Big shock! Aussies say Red Bull is bad for you.

Crazy as it may sound, sugar and stimulent slop Red Bull is bad for you. That's bad for you as in, 'can kill you'.

The results showed "normal people develop symptoms normally associated with cardiovascular disease" after consuming the drink, created in the 1980s by Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz based on a similar Thai energy drink.
Red Bull is banned in Norway, Uruguay and Denmark because of health risks listed on its cans, but the company last year sold 3.5 billion cans in 143 countries. One can contains 80 mg of caffeine, around the same as a normal cup of brewed coffee.
The Austria-based company, whose marketing says "Red Bull gives you wings," sponsors Formula 1 race cars and extreme sport events around the world, but warns consumers not to drink more than two cans a day.
Rychter said Red Bull could only have such global sales because health authorities across the world had concluded the drink was safe to consume.
But Willoughby said Red Bull could be deadly when combined with stress or high blood pressure, impairing proper blood vessel function and possibly lifting the risk of blood clotting.
"If you have any predisposition to cardiovascular disease, I'd think twice about drinking it," he said.

If you look at the Great Apes they share most of our DNA, have reasonably similar GI tracts, reasonably similar dentition.

They eat a completely unrefined diet of mostly green plants, some fruits, a few incects and some eat a small amount of raw meat in certain circumstances.

Even at the zoo, chimp food's green plants and a bucket of fruit. It would be 'wrong' to feed them human staple foods like rice and grains.

What do you suppose would happen if you fed apes at the zoo...

Vodka and red bull
Fry upsRefined sucrose in large amounts
A few coffees a day
A few healthy glasses of red wine a week
Aspertame diet drinksPastuerized dairy from alien species
Cooked stodgy dinners
Topps PizzaMassive amount of refined grains and cereals
McDonalds

How many fat diabetes-ridden apes with cancer, strokes and heart attacks would you have?

Even if you left off the obvious junk food it would be a dire diet by natural standards.

I could have told you Red Bull was a killer for a glass of green juice.
